The Ondo Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ali Olanusi yesterday said the
state government is not bothered about the petitions against it before
Election Petition Tribunal, adding that such cases would not stop
developmental projects in the state.
Speaking with newsmen in a recent spot interview, Olanusi said the
cases cannot distract their attention to work for people of the state
more. Action Congress of Nigeria ACN, Peoples Democratic Party PDP,
Congress for Progressive Change CPC and Accord Party in the state had
challenged victory of the Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko at
the Election Petition Tribunal.
They based their petitions that the last year october 20 governorship
election was manipulated by Governor Mimiko. But, Olanusi described
their allegations as untrue and a way to cause distraction for the
present administration.
He said, “The last year governorship election in Ondo State was the
best in history of any election in the state. “People of the state could
testify to it. Even international observers certified it, they are just
wasting their time”.
Speaking on the rumour that Dr Mimiko was planning to go
back to PDP, Olanusi condemned the allegation, saying “I don’t believe
in rumour. If Governor Mimiko is going to PDP, he must tell me. Up till
now, there is no place Mimiko told me that he would leave Labour Party
for PDP”
The deputy governor also reiterated the plans of state government to
bring dividends of democracy to people of the state. “During our first term
in office, we promised to work for people, which we did. We built Mega
Schools, Mother and Child Hospitals, Markets and so many projects. We
will continue to do more for people of the state”, he said.
